We inherently think our own children are cute, smart, charming, and FUNNY. Humor is hard to capture in photos and blog posts, but I need to record these little doses of humor for our own sake.
"It's strange that you're older than Daddy, but he is stronger than you."

Isaac's new number is 61,000. Everything is 61,000. - "I had 61,000 dreams last night."
- "I just went 61,000 poopies."
- "I played outside for 61,000 minutes."
- "I already ate 61,000 bites."

Myles can't seem to go a single day without falling on his head.
Seriously! This kid has a permanent bruise on his forehead.

Isaac had a time out the other day for throwing sand and pushing. I told him that he had to sit and think about why he had a time out. When I spoke with him a few minutes later, I expected to hear him repent for those TWO misdemeanors. This was the conversation:Corrie: "Why did you have a time out?"
Isaac: "I threw sand, I pushed, I peed in my pants, and I broke Daddy's plant."
Corrie (with shock and surprise at the other two confessions): "Isaac, that was FOUR bad choices."
Isaac: "Actually it was five. I also took away Clare's wet thing."

They didn't like the smell of what I was making for dinner.
This was their solution.

Clare's teacher told me a story that I need to record. She said that there was an obvious kerfuffle in the corner of the classroom so she went over to inquire. Teacher: "What's the matter over here?"
Ethan: "Clare told me that I don't exist, but I do. I'm right here. I DO EXIST!"
Clare: I'm just so confused.
Teacher: "Why are you confused, Clare?"
Clare: "My mommy and daddy said that you have to be married to have a baby, and Ethan's mommy and daddy aren't married, so how was he born?"
Ethan: "CLARE...I was born! I'M RIGHT HERE!"
Teacher: "I think it's time that we go back to our math lesson."
********
Isaac thinks that Band Aids are a cure-all.
He puts them on daily. If his head hurts, he puts a Band Aid on it.
If anything "hurts," he puts a Band Aid on it...or THREE Band Aids on it.
********
For a while, Clare thought the saying was, "if you exist" rather than "if you insist."
********
Myles is always trying to catch a stream water...
in the bathtub, kitchen sink, behind the boat...to no avail.
********
Clare comes home with the funniest little journal entries.

Who is that black-hearted, red-eyed person in our family portrait?
She told us it was the Statue of Liberty. Of course!

What is your water breaking?
This was shortly after Myles was born...and she was with me when my water broke. Ha!

Oh, we love these kiddos. They bring us infinite laughter and JOY!
